My TV said Alias ran from 9:03 - 10:02. Weird! I think it's an anti-Tivo thing, personally.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The fisheries of Jinmark. Yeah, I'm sure the country thing is getting twee, but you know? It's my recap, and everywhere on the island looks the same, so stuff it.
Heh. Damn straight. I love the country thing.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce
I was thinking that the episode was more a day in the life of Jack - making house calls as the doctor. Boone was incidental, Locke's vision quest provocation number three.
It is nice to see Locke has a plan of a sort. He had his encounter, then pushed Jack and Charlie to their own, provoked Sayid into action against Sawyer, and now he is overtly recruiting.

Yeah, Charlie's line about Locke being the one person he absolutely trusts set off some ominous warning bells. I think push is going to come to shove, given Locke's comment about needing people on a particular side, and I don't think it's going to be pretty.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The weird part is, Locke is gaining power over people by subterfuge, quietly. Like, dude, if you openly made a move for power, there's a good chance you might become the obvious leader anyway. Why are you going to all the trouble to create rifts?
I mean, if it came to it, he's easily equipped to talk Jack out into the woods and murder him, and frame the invisimechasaurs for it. AFAIK, Jack and Sayid are the only ones with their hackles well and truly up around him, and Sayid seems to have resigned temporarily from the leadership department.
All of this said, I will laff and laff if Sawyer and Kate turn out to be the deciding personalities in the Paradise Island Civil War. They're the only "I'm on my side" characters, and I wonder what it would take to win each of them over securely.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Snerk-worthy from Cleolinda's recap:
Meanwhile, Mercutio is looking into some Important Box of Personal Significance. They ought to keep Sawyer's letter and Kate's airplane in there, I tell you what.

Heh. Heh heh heh.

That made me laugh. I really wanted to find a new tag in there, but nothing really called out to me.

I think Locke will target them first for this reason. He's already started trying to get Sawyer out of the picture. (siccing Sayid on him)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Cleolinda once again brings the funny.
As for Sawyer's brief appearance in the police station flashback, I have a theory: He's been hinting from the beginning that he knows that Kate's a bad, bad girl. What if he saw her being brought into the station by Marshall Shrap and managed to overhear a few tidbits of why she was there.

Art Crawl!!!
Someone over at TWoP said that seeing how Locke is indoctrinating Boone made him think of how Holtz must have raised Connor in Q'ortoth.
Yes!
Also -- I'm so glad that the Abramsverse is contingous, thus, my scenario in which the final episode of Lost has the team from Alias swooping in to save them all. I think this should involve black helicoptors AND a unit of divers. Possibly a submarine.
I loved seeing Sawyer at the police station. And Jin TOTALLY knows English. I really loved the Jin + Hurley stuff and the Kate and Sun stuff this week.

He may have seen her on the plane in handcuffs. Who knows?
